Announcements - July 12

The beginning of our 2021-22 season is upon us!  Music is arranged and Drill is written with a custom spot for each of you! Here are some things you can do starting now to make sure you are ready for Pre-camp to start next week

-CHECK YOUR EMAIL for announcements and updates.  We will be sending more details about the next few weeks and we will be requesting volunteers for many tasks that allow us to function as a band!

-HYDRATE.  It is important that you drink WATER consistently leading up to our rehearsals, it will be hot and you will be active

-BE ACTIVE. Starting now get outside and do anything. Take a walk, mow the lawn, ride a bike, play a game.  The point is to get yourself acclimated to being outside in the heat so it isn’t a shock to you

-PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT. Get your instrument out, play it, and make sure it is functioning properly.  If you play a school instrument and do not have it yet, it will be working and ready for you by pre-camp.

Stay Tuned and Have a great week!

Marching Band Details 2020-21

We are happy to be able to provide you with some more details regarding the upcoming season!

If you are not a Marching Band student - please disregard this message. This is the last message everyone will receive prior to our Marching Band email list being finalized.

Important Dates:

Pre-Camp - July 19-22 - Location: CHS

Band Camp - July 25-30 - Location: CHS

The rest of our season calendar can be found by clicking here

Location:

Band camp will be held this summer at CHS.  The school supports our return to Lincoln Lake, but has told us we need to stay at school this summer.  This will also give us an opportunity to start fundraising again to help offset the cost of traveling to camp. The good news is that we will have a new full size grass practice field at CHS this season, and we will be able to rehearse and be together as a full group!

Costs:

The cost for this season will be $150.00.  This will help cover some camp sectional staff, drill, music, shirts, and some food and snacks throughout the season.  Please do not let cost be a factor in your participation, we can help! If you have any questions regarding payment plans, financial aid, etc please contact boosters treasurer Cindy VanNoord at crvannoord@charter.net 

Forms:

The attached forms packet (see email for attachment) and a $50 non-refundable deposit (or full payment) is due by June 4. We encourage you to make your payments online through charms. This is important so we can have our music and drill custom written for an exact number of students.  Instructions for submitting the forms/payments can be found on the first page of the forms packet.

Handbook:
